The Pittsburgh Pirates struggled in all areas of baseball, as they lost 9-2 to the Detroit Tigers in the first game of a doubleheader at Comerica Park.
This makes it four straight losses and five out of six games on the road trip for the Pirates, as they lost three of four games to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. They’ve also lost the series to the Tigers, as they dropped the first game, 7-3 on June 17.
This game was originally scheduled for 6:40 p.m. on June 18, but inclement weather postponed the game and moved it to the originally scheduled timeslot on June 19 of 1:10 p.m., with the series finale taking place at 5:40 p.m.
The game started in a rain delay, the 10th time this season for the Pirates, moving 40 minutes later for a 1:50 p.m. first pitch time.
Pittsburgh faced off against Detroit ace, left-handed starting pitcher Tarik Skubal, who won the American League Crown in 2024 and has had an incredible season again in 2025.
Andrew McCutchen had two hits on the day, giving him 2,212 career hits, moving him to No. 186 all-time.
